But he’s also a hard man who exorcises the demons in his soul by boxing.

Phillip Mansfield is a scion of the “Four Hundred”, the extreme upper-crust of New York society. The business deal between Eva Hyde and Phillip Mansfield may be scandalous, but the story about it is delightful.Īnd the reason that it is so delightful is that the hero and heroine, especially the heroine, are so different from what is expected, particularly what is expected for their time and place, New York City in 1890. When a series of onsite “accidents” makes it clear someone wants Lady Unlucky to earn her nickname, Phillip discovers he’s willing to do anything to protect her-even if it requires A SCANDALOUS DEAL. Yet Eva is more capable-and more alluring-than Phillip first thought, and he cannot keep from drawing up a plan of his own to seduce her. Phillip Mansfield reluctantly agrees to let the fiery Lady Eva oversee his luxury hotel project while vowing to keep their relationship strictly professional. But Eva’s misfortune strikes once more when she discovers the stranger who swept her off her feet is none other than her new employer. She sets sail for New York City, determined that nothing will deter her dream of becoming an architect, certainly not an unexpected passionate shipboard encounter with a mysterious stranger. With three dead fiancés, Lady Eva Hyde has positively no luck when it comes to love. Joanna Shupe returns with another unforgettable novel set in the glittering world of New York City’s Gilded Age…
